May 7, 20251 yr "I'm going on an adventure!" -- Bilbo Baggins If this doesn't stir the soul. I suspect many of us have been on mini-adventures and gotten similar feelings. These days my adventures are long distance flights in the flight sim. I can well imagine doing similar things when I was younger. I sold my Goldwing motorcycle to my best friend and he rode it from Dallas to San Francisco, up Highway 1 to Vancouver, and back through Yellowstone. Wish I was still young enough to do something like that today. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
May 7, 20251 yr Author 1 hour ago, ViperPilot said: The Hero of the story is Bud the Dog! 😁 Yes, LOL, That bulldog he purchased near the start of his journey. A lot of people in the west had never seen an automobile, but they loved that bulldog wearing goggles. He also bought a Kodak box camera and lots and lots of roll of film which is why there are dozens of photos on the program. Everyone he met had horses and wagons. I loved where one guy who lived way out in the desert saw his auto coming and unhitched his horses and jumped under his wagon with his wife and kids because he thought it was a runaway locomotive that had jumped the tracks, LOL. The car spooked the horses which ran away. The looked really upset in the photo. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
